We present a software system for the management of geographically distributed highperformance computers. It consists of three components: 1. The Computing Center Software (CCS) is a vendor-independent resource management software for local HPC systems. It controls the mapping and scheduling of interactive and batch jobs on massively parallel systems; 2. The Resource and Service Description (RSD...

cronkhite-canada syndrome (ccs) is a rare, non-familial disorder of unknown etiology associated with alopecia, cutaneous hyperpigmentation, gastrointestinal polyposis, onychodystrophy, diarrhea, weight loss and abdominal pain.the prevalence ofâ gastrointestinal malignancy in ccs patients is about 13%, and especially is high in colorectal and gastric areas; 5 year mortality rate is 55%. in this ...

Eddies in the California Current System (CCS) are generated via baroclinic instabilities of upwelling jet and contribute to mesoscale variability. However, climate-induced changes activity CCS remain poorly explored. We present future eddy kinetic energy (EKE) from an ensemble three high-resolution downscaled ocean projections covering 1980–2100. EKE is projected increase throughout toward end ...

As the impacts of global warming have become increasingly severe, oxy-fuel combustion has been widely considered a promising solution for carbon capture and storage (CCS) to reduce dioxide (CO2) achieve net-zero emissions. In past few decades, researchers around world demonstrated improvements by application internal (IC) engines. This article presents comprehensive review experimental simulati...

This article presents a new method for the binarization of color document images. Initially, the colors of the document image are reduced to a small number using a new color reduction technique. Specifically, this technique estimates the dominant colors and then assigns the original image colors to them in order that the background and text components to become uniform. Each dominant color defi...

The fast expansion of Internet and DVB channels has brought a fast increase of video footage which needs to be indexed for efficient and easy retrieval. This task has been historically done by documentalists who tag manually each video with a few keywords, unfortunately such work is time consuming and hence very expensive. In the last decade much effort has been put into building processes whic...

Since the introduction of travelling wave (T-Wave)-based ion mobility in 2007 a large number of research laboratories have embraced the technique, particularly those working in the field of structural biology. The development of software to process the data generated from this technique, however, has been limited. We present a novel software package that enables the processing of T-Wave ion mob...

A method is described to make a direct measurement of the horizontal and vertical momentum dispersion of the electron and positron beams as they pass through the chromatic correction sections (CCS) of tbe SLC final focus systems. The metbod is advantageous since it cleanly separates betatron components of the beam size from dispersive components, can be measured during standard colliding beams ...

BACKGROUND Several transcription factors regulate cardiac conduction system (CCS) development and function but the role of each in specifying distinct CCS components remains unclear. GATA-binding factor 6 (GATA6) is a zinc-finger transcription factor that is critical for patterning the cardiovascular system. However, the role of GATA6 in the embryonic heart and CCS has never been shown. METHO...
